The performance of the older subjects (10 years and up) was facilitated by the organizational cues, whereas that of younger subjects was not. (Author)

Results of the present study confirm the importance of the contingency variable in experiments dealing with the effect of supportive comment upon children's performance. (Author)

Two major implications of this study are that repeated testing is a necessity for young children, and that repeated contrasts may provide a more accurate assessment of phonological discrimination ability in children. (Authors/MB)

When high anxious mothers administered tasks to their children, they facilitated the task performance of their daughters but were strongly detrimental to that of their sons. Low anxious mothers chose more difficult tasks for sons than for daughters, and they facilitated the task performance of sons more than that of daughters. (Authors/RY)

Three experiments are presented which examine the ability of 10-month-old infants to search in a new hiding place. (Author)

The finding that the impulsivity-reflectivity dimension was not related to risk-taking behavior was clearly unexpected. (Author)

A six-month-old infant who can remove a transparent cloth from his hand when it is covered after he grasps a toy may not be able to remove an opaque cover. Alternative interpretations of the phenomenon, that is, degree of bimanual coordination and focus of attention, are discussed. (Author/MB)

Primary purpose of the study was to ascertain the effectiveness of different methods of training children to solve the two-choice conditional matching problem. (Author)

The interaction between age and conceptual tempo was a consistently significant finding. (Author)

With no expectancy to perform, vicarious reward had no effect on spontaneous imitation. (Authors)

Analysis indicates that both 5 and 7-year-old children are capable of distinguishing between anomalous and meaningful sentences although 7-year-olds demonstrate greater awareness of selection restriction rules. (Authors)

Results of this study suggest that availability of a consistent set of color labels is related more closely to recognition accuracy than is the spontaneous production of labels in a color recognition task. (Authors)

Study attempts to clarify the attentional versus perceptual learning functions of presence of the discriminative stimuli during delay. (Authors)

Compensation as assessed by any one test or criterion used is more difficult than conservation. And, the understanding of the compensation principle, as manifested in verbal statements, continues to develop well after the age at which liquid conservation may be taken for granted. (Authors)
